Platforms prevent us from experiencing difficult content in a healthy way. We don’t have to fight through something, be patient, think so much about what something is doing to us, or create our own opinion of it as it develops because we always have that possibility of clicking away.
Boredom doesn’t exist, difficulty doesn’t exist, scarcity doesn’t exist. When you’re surrounded by infinite possibilities, you can simply move on.
The experience of going to the movies is not about the size of the screen but the darkness of the room. It creates a fruitful sensory deprivation tank to sit with one piece of content in isolation.
“To the extent taste is a kind of attunement to yourself, then developing taste in a space where it is harder to attune to yourself, where your self is more drowned out and it’s easier to jump away from that internal experience, that is also going to degrade, it seems to me at least, the fundamental ground on which that facility is developed.” - Ezra Klein
